Flooring Redefined

Recently, Florida has been experiencing an upswing in the housing market. Many older homes are being purchased and are badly in need of renovations. One of the key features that frequently needs updating is the flooring. The once-trendy shag carpeting and linoleum are out, and homeowners are looking to spruce up their spaces with the latest and greatest.

Here are this season’s top flooring trends:

• Hardwood flooring provides a timeless, effortlessly chic style to any home. A popular trend in the scheme of hardwood flooring is the hand-scraped or distressed look. This new twist on a classic flooring favorite is sure to add personality to your decor.
• When it comes to tile, wood plank porcelain is all the rage and comes in 6x36 and 5x48 tiles. This is a great option for those who love the look of hardwood but aren’t interested in any of the upkeep it requires.
• Those who prefer carpet are in luck. Your favorite styles and colors are now available in a new, water-resistant carpet made by Shaw. This new, resilient carpet features a waterproof backing that prevents liquids from being absorbed. Now you can enjoy all the benefits of carpet without worrying about scrubbing away pesky stains.
